On December 7th, 2024, the time has come. The exhibition in the Weberstrasse remand prison in Quedlinburg is once again preparing for the rush of guests. Like every year before Christmas, the World Heritage city in the Harz Mountains is inviting everyone to the Advent weekend in the courtyards.
Over 20,000 people accept the invitation, and many also find their way to the former remand prison on Weberstrasse.

Along with the presentation of a very special series from ARTSURPRISE, one of the benches from the art project #BUENAVISTACERVERA will be shown in the Quedlinburg pre-trial detention center. The bench remains as a permanent exhibit and as an ambassador for the Spanish town of Cervera del Maestre (Castellon). Both the project itself and this bench are social sculptures. Equipped with two art compartments, the bench invites visitors to discover contemporary art – this is GEO-tagging at its finest! Come by and with a little luck you can find a very special art surprise in the bank.

The innovative and educationally valuable concept of this exhibition venue – supported by its volunteer supervisors – combines the history of justice in the region from 1847 to 1974 with modern ideas of contemporary art.

The artist Juan Petry tells a special story in connection with this series, which he will initially market exclusively in the museum. For now, only visitors to the exhibition in the Weberstrasse in Quedlinburg (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) have the chance to obtain one of the 120 exclusive works, as well as collectors and art lovers who act quickly here.

The exhibition is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. and by appointment (+49 174-8183661 or +49 171-3730519).
